     Greetings,
     
     As mentioned at the dinner last night, I want to bring to your 
     attention a job opening at the Society for Industrial and Applied 
     Mathematics.
     
     Text of the ad is below. I really can't add to the description below,

     remarkably sane place to work.

     Job Position Announcement: Computer Programmer
     
     
     SIAM, a worldwide professional mathematical society and publisher in 
     the University City Science Center, seeks a database-oriented 
     applications programmer with much team-oriented experience. We value 
     your demonstrated ability to go beyond crafting modular maintainable 
     code by managing the project planning and communications aspects of 
     medium to large scale projects. We are looking for your ability to 
     work directly with end users and fellow programmers, and your ability 
     to clearly document user requirements and system design.
     
     Education: an undergraduate degree in a computer science field 
     desired, or significant training/education in computer programming.
     
     Experience: demonstrated achievement in programming, documenting, and 
     delivering database applications in a web-oriented environment.
     
     People Skills: Ability to create and maintain schedules, to keep users 
     well informed of project progress, and to delegate components to 
     others. Excellent writing ability and verbal skills.
     
     Technical Skills: Familiarity with the Windows NT and Linux operating 
     systems, and familiarity with relational database concepts is 
     necessary. Perl is our preferred programming language. Knowledge of 
     one or more web-to-database methods (including, but not limited to, 
     Cold Fusion CFML or Perl/CGI) is essential. Javascript a plus. Must be 
     competent in using SQL with a variety of database servers, especially 
     MS SQL Server or PostgreSQL. 
     
     Must live locally in the Philadelphia area and be able to commute 
     daily to the University City area. 
     
     In your cover letter please indicate with which languages, databases, 
     and technologies you have had the most experience, and what was your 
     most challenging project. Mail your resume and cover letter via 
     old-fashioned paper-based postal mail to:
     
     Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
     Attention: Information Systems
     3600 University City Science Center
     Philadelphia PA 19104
     
     
     A few restrictions, please: U. S. citizenship required. No visas. No 
     third-party applications. No fees paid to agencies or recruiters. No 
     bonuses. No relocation. No telecommuting. No phone calls. Non-smoking
